Abstract:
An apparatus and methods are provided for an air-cooled CVT clutch. The air-cooled CVT clutch includes a first cooling fan coupled with a primary clutch and a second cooling fan coupled with a secondary clutch. An outboard housing mates with an inboard housing to enclose the primary clutch and the secondary clutch. The first cooling fan is coupled to a moveable sheave comprising the primary clutch and configured to draw a cooling airstream through an air duct disposed in the outboard housing. The second cooling fan is coupled to a moveable sheave comprising the secondary clutch and configured to draw the cooling airstream from the primary clutch to the secondary clutch. The first cooling fan pushes the cooling airstream to the secondary clutch when the second clutch is not rotating.
